Shetland lace Smokering in pure wool-Giveaway December 2013

Destined to be a Lace smokering

Long dark days are ahead. winter is upon us. rejoice in all that is knitting. 

 
 
The yarn has a beautiful soft handle to it so much so that it is of fine enough quality in texture & Luster to be either a smokering or beautiful flowing lace scarf.
                     I'm never without a scarf or smokering. A scarf really adds the finishing touches to your outfit all you have to do is colour coordinate & if you get it just right adds a little bit of pizazz to you & your clothes !
                     Now I'm not a white person. White on me makes me look Pasty ill, I'm more a Black person. I love rich dark colours, Moorit reds, browns & deep blues & solid Raven black etc. so if this smokering was going to be for me I would have to dye the yarn or dye the finished smokering to sooth my need for colour.

Voila.....here are the choices:


The dye really loves to soak into sheep wool. White sheep wool gives a true Brilliant vision of how absolutely wonderful colour can be.
From Left to Right: Turkey red, Hunter green, Mahogany, Copenhagen blue, Buttercup yellow Or Ocean Green. My personal favourite is the ocean green with its hint of colour variations
I can also do Black (not shown).
***Click on any picture to make them larger***

 


You get to choose. Will it be natural white as shown above or one of these rich colours ?
I will randomly draw out 2 winners each will receive a lace smokering knit in their choice of colour.

To enter simply tell us what would be your choice of colour

open to everyone world wide.

Runs from: 06 December TO 31st December 2013

  5. I love smoke rings. I've made a few myself from wool and alpaca to give as gifts. Family members love them. Of course, I haven't kept any for myself, so one in Hunter Green would be frabjous!

  16. That is gorgeous! I'm slowly improving in my lace knitting, but it requires so much more attention that I'm used to giving my knitting :-) So I drool over lace, knowing how hard it would be for me to make! I think I would leave it white. Thanks for the chance :-)
